A Light At The End Of The Tunnel

[Ailene Goldhirsh]

Acrucial part of our complete system. VELUX skylight flashing kits are designed to shed water without relying on sealants that can break down over time. We offer a variety of skylight flashing systems to ensure a weathertight fit for virtually all roof types and slopes.

VELUX has a range of accessories that can be a great help if you have a skylight that is hard to reach or if you simply want to give your VELUX skylight a touch-up. We also offer accessories that can adapt your current skylight to fit more recent products.

Adding a Sun Tunnel Skylight is a cost-effective way to add natural light to areas that need a brighter, more vibrant appearance. Their low-profile design creates a sleek appearance on any roofline, and their pre-fabricated light tube makes them quick and easy to install. Not to mention, they come with a 20-year tube warranty

Travelers are greeted by our beautiful water feature, located in the center of McNamara Terminal. Inspired by the lines of a flight map, the 39 ft. wide fountain designed by WET Design of Burbank, CA, is an ideal meeting spot or lounge area. Make a wish and toss a penny! All coins are collected and donated to local and national nonprofits.

Connecting Concourses B/C with Concourse A at the McNamara Terminal building, Detroit Metropolitan Airport's underground Light Tunnel is an artistic display of sight and sound. This 700 ft. display features nearly 9,000 ft. of glass panels illuminated by LED lighting and is set to an original musical score.

**If the combination of light and sound is uncomfortable, passengers can suspend the program for a five-minute period by pressing the button at each end of the tunnel. The button is located to the right at the bottom of the escalators.

Wow! My boys would love this. In fact, my youngest was sad for months after Christmas that the houses on our street no longer have Christmas lights. Thinking about making them a cardboard playhouse with lights ?

Reading Psalms has helped me to realize how short-sighted my prayers have been. So often, I focus only on asking God to deliver me from the tunnel. Speed up the passage, Lord! Please just spit me out on the other side already!

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

The season of Advent is like driving through a long tunnel. It is a time to be expectant for what is to come, for what lies ahead in the distance. It is a season to look forward to the glorious light. To know that there is an end to the darkness.

Just as the light at the end of a tunnel grows as we get closer to it, the light of Advent grows each week as we light an additional candle. It is a reminder that this is not the end. No matter what struggle you are going through, no matter how difficult or hopeless your situation seems, there is something greater that is coming.

Lord, help us to not lose heart. Remind us in this season that our momentary afflictions are preparing us for a weight of glory beyond all comparison. Let us look not to the things that are seen, but to the things that are unseen; not to the things that are temporary but to what is eternal. Amen.

The VELUX flexible (TWF) and rigid (TWR) Sun Tunnels provide installation flexibility. Rigid tunnels are most suited to roof space with minimal obstructions. They have a highly reflective shaft to achieve maximum light output. Flexible tunnels can be used when obstructions in the roof cavity prevent the use of rigid sun Tunnels.

VELUX Sun Tunnel Skylights are the most economical way to bring in natural light into dark spaces like laundry rooms, kitchens, hallways or other small spaces that need more natural light brought in. VELUX Sun Tunnel Skylights are quick and easy to install. Rigid tubes come with a 20-year tunnel warranty. Bring in the light with VELUX Sun Tunnel Skylights!

Traditional VELUX skylights are fixed or venting windows that are installed on your roof. They provide more light, a sky view and can visually expand rooms in your home. Whether your ceiling is flat or vaulted, there are a variety of options for different budget, lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

Compared to Sun Tunnel skylights, traditional skylights require more time and labor to install. To properly install a skylight, the installer cuts a hole in the ceiling drywall and adds framing. Then they go up on the roof to remove roofing material and cut a hole in the roof. The skylight is attached to the roof and finished using the VELUX three layers of protection that back the No Leak Promise. Back inside, the installer will finish the light shaft by installing insulation, drywall panels and trim, applying drywall mud, adding trim and painting. A standard skylight installation can take as little as half a day for vaulted ceiling installations to three days for flat-ceiling installations.

On the other hand, a typical VELUX Sun Tunnel skylight installation by an experienced installer takes only about 90 minutes to complete from start to finish. Steps include cutting a hole into the roof from the outside of your home and another hole in your ceiling from the inside. The reflective aluminum tube will then be inserted to connect the two holes, the lens installed on the roof and the ceiling fixture attached inside.

Sun Tunnel skylights provide ample sunlight to small spaces, such as hallways, bathrooms and closets. Many homeowners report that after installing a single Sun Tunnel skylight in a small bathroom, they frequently forget and try to turn off the light, thinking the electrical light has been left on. For larger rooms, such as kitchens and living rooms, two or three Sun Tunnel skylights can provide enough light to keep the electric lights off on sunny days.

Remember that the light provided by Sun Tunnel skylights will be affected by the orientation of the roof where they are located (south is optimal), the season, tube length and whether other parts of the roof or nearby trees shade the lens during certain times of the day.

Over the last 6 years the space has evolved into one of my favorite visual moments in our home. I truly believe hallways are the unsung heroes of a house. They are often neglected when it comes to design and styling, but can be the perfect place to get creative with color and pattern. I added a gorgeous shibori wallpaper in ours, changed out the lighting with some vintage crystal chandeliers, added new hardware on the built ins and pulled in a vintage runner to finish things off.

Sun tunnels were one of the best things I learned in my interior design classes in college. My current home (townhome rental) has one installed in our garage cold storage and it makes such a huge difference! Love this hallway transformation, Shavonda!!

Rigid sun tunnels give you a better light transmittance than the flexible sun tunnel and also allow for the light to channel down the tube from the roof to the ceiling in a direct motion.

This is because the less the light bounces off the internal surface of the tube, the more natural light you will get in the required room. Generally speaking, rigid sun tunnels can offer up to 20m of effective light distribution.

Flexible sun tunnels meanwhile cost less and are much better for shorter distances, as the flexible tube allows you to negotiate around any obstructions in the roof space. However, due to the build of the flexible tube, light will reflect less than a rigid sun tunnel.

Essentially, this means once the light hits the flat panel, some of the light is lost by means of reflection, so with that in mind, domes stand out as they actually refract the light inwards, thus capturing extra light compared to their counterparts.

Tubular Skylights effectively transmit natural daylight to internal rooms or areas that do not receive adequate daylight. Natural daylight is captured at roof level and directed downwards through rigid or flexible tube.

We offer a large selection of Sun Tunnels in many sizes and available options; including products from FAKRO and our very own kits! Many of these options are in stock and available within a couple of days.

We recently finished giving our staircase and upstairs hallway a complete makeover by installing board and batten, installing a stair runner, updating our stair railing and painting pretty much everything. But by far the most transformative part of the renovation was the installation of four Velux Sun Tunnels. It sounds dramatic, but they have completely transformed the way the upstairs of our house looks. More importantly, adding sun tunnels has completely changed the way we FEEL about the second floor of our home. Before I share why we chose to have Velux Sun Tunnels installed and show you what a huge difference they have made for us, let's cover some of the basics.

A sun tunnel (sometimes referred to as a tubular skylight) is a circular channel that directs sunlight from your roof down a highly reflective aluminum tunnel and into a room or space below. That means that areas of your home that don't otherwise have any natural light via windows, etc. can have light pouring into them!
